What To Expect
Visit Chicago's highest point, the Skydeck on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower) with this pre-paid admission ticket. Enjoy panoramic views of the Chicago skyline, world-famous for its distinctive architecture.
Explore several exhibits designed for learners of all ages, like interactive digital floor displays, touch-screen activities and scavenger hunts that not only highlight Chicago's iconic landmark, but also celebrate the Windy City's sports, architecture, pop culture, history, food, music and people. Challenge yourself with a Chicago trivia game, compare the heights of the tallest structures in the world, and see just how many of your bodies it would take to reach the height of Willis Tower.
Walk out onto the Ledge, a glass box-like balcony that extends 4.3 feet (1.3 meters) from the building, and experience an unconventional view of the city — from above. Admire the lofty views of top Chicago attractions, like Wrigley Field, the Navy Pier and Millennium Park, all from a breathtaking height of 1,353 feet (412.4 meters). On a clear day, you can see up to 50 miles (80.5 km) out. It’s also the perfect vantage point for great sunset and twinkling night city views.

Traveler Tips
All though 60 seconds isn't enough time if you are in big group, its just right for a couple to do.
Stepping out on the deck is not for the faint of heart, if you are afraid of heights you may hyperventilate.
Long queues in general line, poor assistance from staff— recommend Fast Track especially if you have mobility issues or back problems

The whole building was amazing, the ride up the ride down. The city views were amazing. The only thing I would want to be better is more time to be there, and not so much money on the photos.

Sky deck at The Ledge
Ana_H, May 2023
When I purchased the tickets it said “skip the line.” Not true they are $30- for $44- I feel we got ripped off! Not happy with this tour.
Thanks for a great time.

We as family had a great time. Noticed some changes from the last time I visited Willis Tower. It was a very nice experience.
Cost more! Go directly to Willis tower
Lisa_M, Mar 2023
Buy your tix directly from Willis tour. This website cost me more to bring my family. Little disappointing I didn’t do more research. Will
Never book with this company again/ there was no extra value or benfits.

Great Views, Long Lines
Matt_M, Mar 2023
Great experience, but very long lines to wait in. Especially, for a Tuesday night. Glad I went, but once is enough. Be prepared to stand in lines for about an hour, in order to stand on the glass-floored deck for 60 seconds.
Amazing
Ligia_A, Mar 2023
The view is Amazing and all the story before getting to the ledge makes the experience unique. Pictures came out really good and the personal assisting the visitors are niece and helpful!!
Breathing views!!
Harish_I, Feb 2023
The tour itself takes you through the history of Chicago and the highlight definitely is the skydeck.
The view from the 103rd floor is exhilarating and the night view sets a romantic atmosphere
